Hmmm. Is there a problem with tolerance here? You don't have a right to quietness when you are outside your "place of worship" (place of worship? -- another topic that needs addressing at another time). When you are inside your "place of worship" then you have a right to quietness. Those who want quietness in public places do not really believe in free speech.

Cursing is another issue entirely, but if they were out in front of my "place of worship" rebuking those attending church, that would be just fine. That is what freedom of speech is all about. More than that, I would very much welcome it because it would cause those entering to examine themselves whether they be in the faith. What is dangerous is when you have nobody in society rebuking the sinners within it. Some of the church hypocrites need some rebuking, even if it were to come from Satanists. If you know any who want to rebuke Christians, please send them over to my church meeting place.

Does Canada have any laws that protect free speech? Are most Canadians against free speech? Peace be with you.
